The Tampa Bay Times reports on events scheduled to honor an American hero, Army Spc. Justin Coleman, who was killed in action in 2009 in Afghanistan. On Saturday, his family and friends will come together in the place where he grew up to celebrate two gestures aimed at ensuring his memory doesn't fade.

The first is the unveiling of signs dedicating a roughly two-mile stretch of Shoal Line Boulevard, or County Road 597, as the "U.S. Army Spc. Justin Dean Coleman Memorial Highway."

U.S. Rep. Rich Nugent will help lead a ceremony starting at 11 a.m. at the Coast Guard Auxiliary station, 4340 Calienta St. The memorial highway designation will extend from the station to Jewfish Drive to the south.

After that, officers at nearby VFW Post 9236 will unveil a wall memorial in Coleman's honor.
